I barely played any of last gen on account of it being a Wii U game, so I'm all for this.

...But I'm also glad that they got this announcement out of the way in a random March direct, because that presumably means they still have something bigger for the one around E3. Gimme that Pokemon Switch already, guys.

I'm not opposed to Splatoon characters' inclusion but they are taking potential spots for better or more deserving Nintendo characters, like Dixie Kong and Waluigi. I hope we get a ton of 3rd party surprises.

After looking at a new article by Shoryuken about SSB I was led to a another that's a couple years old but worth looking at. To sum it up, Sakurai seems to be expressing sentiments which could hint toward the new SSB inching toward being more competitive again.

I think SSB4 did a decent job of that already but the game could certainly benefit from increased speed.
